Thanks for the feedback.

Since my car is "only" a 2014 E500 coupe not a AMG, KW informed me that the DDC system for my car is plug & play and will use the stock suspension button that only have confort and sport.
I hope that will be as you described, only confort and sport+ setting that will be fine

PS: For your car the installation was plug & play and used also the stock button ? do you have any install thread?
I know that W204 and W207 share the same chassis, I was considering using the C63AMG DDC, beside beeing more expensive any advantage of doing that?

Thanks

The W204 C63 does not have adjustable suspension and the DDC will need to be wired in from scratch. That may be why it is more expensive. If you can use the C63AMG DDC you will get the 3 position setting but will need to wire in the switch from scratch. I have KWV3 but not DDC so I am not sure of the exact installation details for the DDC.

I curently drive a facelift c63 and the roads in chicago are literally damaging my spine and the car
How would you compare the softness or comfort of these coils to other cars? Like a regular 5 series, lexus or an e class? Is it possible to get that level of comfort with these coils in comfort setting(or custom setting)?

Phil Chow

Comfort depends on the tires you're using, and also the rim size too.

But, I was on the OEM Multispoke 19s with Michelin PSS, and Comfort, was still stiffer than a 5-Series/Lexus/E-Class. Those are all "Comfortable Family Sedans". A C63, was not built with comfort in mind completely.

I'd say Comfort Mode is very comparable to like a C250/C300, something along those lines. Slightly stiffer, but much better in terms of daily driving.

Thanks for the input! Guess i have to go test drive a regular c class to decide if these coils are what i need

The car is by no means comfortable on "comfort". It is a hard ride, but bumps feel less harsh. It is still softer than stock. Sport is harder than stock, and sport+ much more so. It is a great suspension, i really love it and can recommend it to anyone. After sales has been nothing but perfect as well.

I have the KW DDC's and love them. I notice a difference between each of the settings and I really comfort mode. I have stock 18s and have run 18/255/35 & 18/255/40 in rears in PSS and Continental Sport MO, I don't rub at all. With the stock size in the front and with CF lip diffuser I do scrape a little but nothing to worry about. I haven't placed with the application to see the various settings for the max offset by 50% but I enjoy showing my friends the cool features. I'm using this on my 2012 C63 AMG with P31. It's great stuff. However now gunning for a newer E63 2014+ I must part the car for trade in or private sale. I recommend the KW DDCs!

Just to leave my two cents here.

Installed KW DDC on my 2013 E500 coupe (E550 in US) and had it also corner weighted and ended up with a complete new car, I'm in love!

For my car the KW DDC kit is plug & play and can change only to confort and sport as with stock suspension.
The front springs are at the max height indicated by KW but after going to the scales for corner weight the rear ended up a bit low for what I would like, but all in detriment for a perfect 50:50 balance.

The ride in comfort is like stock, or even better, and in sport I notice the rebound difference, but not much as I was expecting,but very very capable ride in sport mode without a harsh ride. I was surprised in a good way!

If any one, like I was, undecided between V3 and DDC it's simple... for track V3 for road DDC all the way.
